Medusa Blog Hop hosted by Heather Lyons and Kelly Hashway!

Heather
and Kelly are teaming up to show you a very different side of Medusa.
Forget the monster you might think she was, and check out these excerpts from The
Deep End of the Sea and Touch of Death. You just might change your
mind about Medusa.

The
Deep End of the Sea excerpt

But
there’s no way around it. I am, in fact, a monster. A hideous one, to be
precise, but as I don’t have any mirrors on Gorgóna, I can’t verify that one
for certain. I rely on the fact that every single person I’ve frozen over the
ages boasts abject fear on their face, which makes me believe they find me
pretty horrifying. And it sucks. It genuinely, truly, absolutely, unequivocally
sucks. I hate stealing lives.

Thus,
not only am I a monster, I’m a really lousy one. A lonely, classic Five Stages
of Grief following, insecure, shut-in of a pathetic beast who talks to the
snakes on her head and the statues on her island.

My hair
blew up, flying wildly all around me. My blood bubbled in my veins like boiling
water, but it didn't hurt. It was the feeling of power. Too much power. My body
felt like it was going to burst. Still I held on. My eyes closed, and I threw
my head back. An imaged filled my mind. Medusa. Her snakes wriggled their
bodies at me, flicking their tongues. Chills ran down the backs of my legs, but
I forced my eyes away from the snakes. Lower. To Medusa's face. She smiled at
me. Her face and eyes filled with warmth. She looked like…Mom.

"Do
not fear me, Jodi. My blood lies in your veins and in your heart. you are one
of mine. My children."
